Great binos for the price

These are a great set of binoculars. The lenses are clear and it feels sturdy. You won't be upset buying these. The glasspak is great for hunting and the neck lanyard is very comfortable. The only thing I can say is I wish they included the quick snaps to go between the glasspak and the neck harness.

Great product for the price

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hardware and optics for this price. For most uses I really don't feel like I'm missing much from *much* higher priced binoculars.

Great Deal

Great binos for the price point. I use these for deer, turkey, and archery in AL where seeing for 200 miles isn't all that important.

Great value

Very reliable good quality optics. Bought them for a Western Elk hunt. Vortex makes a higher end model than this but found Diamond Back model a great value.

Affordable set of binos

I use these binos while hunting in the woods, or while at home looking at things off of my deck. They are lightweight and easy to use. They come with a nice case to store them in when they are not in use.

Nice Binoculars

I saw a buddy of mine using them over the weekend and decided I need them myself. They don't break the bank and they work as intended. Clear as day, and like the strap , carrying bag And accessories that come with it. A must on the range for anything up to 200

Great value for the money no doubt. I've taking this binos hunting for several years now. Compact ergonomics are great even when is wet and the glass is clear. Not the razor quality but it does its job

Great Binos

These 10x42 Binoculars deliver outstanding clarity and performance. They provide crisp, bright, and color-accurate images, even in low light conditions. The wide field of view makes it easy to spot and track wildlife. These binoculars are lightweight, featuring a durable rubber armor coating for a secure, non-slip grip. They're also waterproof and fog-proof, perfect for use in any weather. The adjustable eyecups and smooth focus wheel add comfort and precision to the experience. Overall, the Diamondbacks are a premium quality and reliability at a great value.

Great Binos

The Vortex Diamondback line is known for its mid-tier affordability. I would say this fits the bill. Binoculars are like scopes--you can spend a few hundred, or a few thousand--and you have to be realistic about your needs. I purchased these as a lightweight hiking option I could throw into my backpack, and also to use at the range when I didn't pack a magnified optic. It was especially useful for those days where I was using a red dot, shooting out at 100 yds or a little further, but wanted to see my impacts on paper without having to walk out there each time. I know there are much higher end binoculars out there, but I think many of the weekend-tactical community ends up buying something way more expensive than they will ever need for logo cred, and personally the Diamondback HD has done everything I've ever needed it to do. I would highly recommend.

2023 model.

I bought these back a few years ago thru expertvoice. Vortex is definitely in a class of their own. Twice these have taken major spills amd vortex was more than happy to check them out and fix what is broken. These are tough built model. I hunt washington and idaho. I dont have any issues with early morning fogging or dusty lenses. I love the diamondback series.

Vortex Diamondback 12x50 Binoculars

I have loved these binoculars. I have glassed multiple times with these and have loved it each time. Obviously since these are the lower quality binoculars at times at greater distances they can be SLIGHTLY blurry but I mean barely noticeable. The glass is super clear and I will definitely be using these as long as I can. They are great. The harness is honestly comfortable to wear as well. These are great starter binos.

I lost my eyecup to my 4 or 5 year old Vortex binoculars. I called. Talked to an actual person who actually helped solve my problem without being transferred four times. Parts arrived in a week. Amazing. Vortex customer service rocks.

Vortex has always had good glass at a very competitive price point. Purchased these as a back-up to keep in my truck. The clarity of the glass is very good considering the price compared to other brands. The warranty doesn't hurt either.

By Shebadog

Wow...just bought these after spending a month on reviews and trying out several pairs. I'm not an expert but learned alot and love these...nice sturdy build, bright, focus great from side to side..no blurring or fish eye.

I bought these binoculars about a month and a half ago and I?ve used them several times, and I love them! They are great quality for the price !!

With the 10x42 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binoculars, you're not just getting a pair of binoculars; you're investing in a high-performance optical experience that defies the usual expectations of its price range. These rugged and durable binoculars are engineered to deliver unparalleled clarity and color accuracy, making them an ideal choice for avid birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Diamondback HD series boasts an HD Optical System, meticulously optimized with select glass elements to achieve exceptional resolution. This advanced system effectively reduces chromatic aberration, ensuring outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and impressive light transmission. The fully multi-coated lenses enhance this effect, with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces to increase light capture, providing you with a brighter, clearer view of your subject.

In addition to their optical prowess, these binoculars feature a dielectric coating on the prisms, which guarantees bright, color-accurate, and vivid images even in challenging lighting conditions. The ArmorTek coating on the exterior lenses acts as a shield against scratches, oil, and dirt, preserving the pristine quality of your view.

The construction of the 10x42 Diamondback HD binoculars is just as impressive as their optical capabilities. A robust rubber armor encases the binoculars, offering a secure, non-slip grip and superior external protection. The waterproof design, complete with O-ring seals, ensures that moisture, dust, and debris are kept at bay, allowing for reliable performance in all environments. Shockproof construction safeguards the binoculars against recoil and impact, while argon gas purging prevents internal fogging across a wide range of temperatures.

The thoughtful design extends to convenience features as well. Adjustable eyecups twist up and down to accommodate viewers with or without eyeglasses, ensuring comfortable viewing for all users. The center focus wheel allows for simultaneous adjustment of both binocular barrels, while the diopter, located on the right eyepiece, compensates for differences between your eyes. For those who prefer a stable viewing platform, these binoculars are tripod adaptable, making them versatile for use on a tripod or car window mount.

Included with your purchase is the innovative GlassPakTM binocular harness. This accessory keeps your binoculars within easy reach and ready for action, offering protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps. The harness also allows for quick deployment, ensuring you never miss a moment in the great outdoors.

Whether you're tracking wildlife, observing nature's finest details, or embarking on any adventure where clear vision is paramount, the 10x42 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binoculars are your reliable companion, promising a high-quality, versatile, and immersive viewing experience.
